The cynic in me.

Misquoted from The Sunday Times: "... More interesting are questions of how often moral rectitude disguises murkier motives,..."

Not really. I'd reckon 98% of the people on come iver as perfectly kind and generous souls. And it is more than likely that those who appear curmudgeonly are the nicest people you could hope to meet - in real life. The net magnifies extremes and it's important, just like with AI, not to be too judgemental. Which I admit I too am, over some things, at times.

People aren't ever one thing.

Oh, and I think it shows a really good side of humanity that people will contribute to help unfortunate folk that they don't know and probably will never meet, many of them anonymously, simply out of sympathy.

I've got a few who annoy me due to misinformation, so they are blocked, my list of ignored users is mainly people who no longer post. I

[George and Dragon]

I have a few blocked. Reply guys mostly. I can manage my life perfectly well without being continually bombarded by a rehash of the same opinion.

 

They probably don't know they're doing it.

 

And then there's the ones who I wouldn't cross the road to p*** on if they were on fire. Not many of those. Probably the 2% that Arthur identifies.

Go to your own account ( hit yuor name), there is a list of ' ignored users' 

I can see who has posted on here, I just can't see their post unless I choose otherwise...
